Building a coursed earth roof truss

Builder Kwaku Nsuah sits atop the wall of a coursed earth atakpame structure being built on the grounds of the Banda Cultural Centre as he builds the side wall of a roof truss. Kwabena Donkor stands below holding a pre-formed ball of moist kneaded earth in preparation for tossing it up to the builder. The low wall in front of the structure encloses a porch area.
